Brent tapped his fingers on the Jeep’s steering wheel as they slowly moved forward in line at the roadblock. If they were busted, he’d have to blow his cover and arrange to take Sara into custody immediately, so Miller wouldn’t have a chance to touch her.

While Sara was hiding, he pulled out his phone to check on things from Rick’s end. No new activity since his last text. Odd, because they’d found Annalisa’s car. And ID’d Sara. Something was wrong. There was no denying it anymore.

Any update on Miller?

As the cars slowly inched ahead, his phone remained quiet. Brent scrolled through Rick’s last text looking for anything to help him understand what was going on. Then he reread the text about supplies in the glovebox of the Jeep.

He leaned over and opened the glovebox. Pushing the condoms aside, he lifted the piece of carpet on the bottom. His fingers landed on a cutout, so he lifted it up. Inside was a burner cell phone. He quickly powered it on.

It showed an outstanding text message, so he navigated the unfamiliar screens until he found it. Sent just a few minutes prior.

Dude. They took all of us off the case. Said you’re a suspect now along with Sara so it’s an internal affairs issue. By noon today, everyone will be looking for you guys.

Dammit. Had he been sent undercover just to be set up? His boss had been surprised how quickly Brent had figured out the investment patterns, but then that was one of the things his numbers gift gave him. Had he been sent undercover to test how tight the scam was?

He tapped out a reply to Rick’s personal phone, hoping he’d be online.

Go to my apartment. Grab my bag with thumb drives on the kitchen counter. Evidence to prove I’m innocent is in there.

Rick replied, Your apartment was raided while you were at the wedding yesterday. They sent Cramer. He came to my house this a.m., he was so freaked. Says orders came from way at the top. He wasn’t even supposed to tell Braydon about taking the drives. They took your and Braydon’s equipment at the office too.

Cramer, part of their Friday-night drinking group, was a friend and one of the most decorated field agents in their office. But things still weren’t adding up. Why would the raid be kept from their boss if the top command legitimately thought Brent was on the take? And why let him and Sara run? They could’ve sent the chopper after them and ended it all last night.

Why not detain us at the wedding?

Rick typed back: ??? Time to Dr. the data to get the arrest warrant?

Maybe. Who dropped off the Jeep? Can u be sure the new cell won’t be tracked?

Yep. Called in a favor from the Phoenix office. You remember agent Morales from the academy? She thinks I’m handsome even if u don’t. You’re paying for her plane fare out here next week, btw.

Rick and all his womanizing might have finally paid off.
